Congratulations to this Year ’ s Locally Made Market Home Businesses
By: Orange County Communications Department
The Orange County Office of Economic Development and Tourism is pleased to, once again, host the Locally Made Market at the upcoming Montpelier Hunt Races. To encourage local entrepreneurship, the office offered home - based businesses the opportunity to compete for one of three free spots in a shared vendor tent to market and sell their product(s) at the event. The Office had its greatest response yet in terms of the number of applicants vying for one of the three spots. It was a difficult decision. After careful consideration of the submissions, Honey Springs Bees, LLC, Inseparability Designs, and Van ’ s Woodshop, LLC were selected for this year ’ s shared vendor space. Ashley Weaver, co - owner of Inseparability Designs stated, “ We're truly honored to be part of the Montpelier Hunt Races Local Maker's Market. This opportunity allows us to share our passion with a wider audience, and we hope that our humble offerings will resonate with the wonderful crowd attending this prestigious event. The exposure here is a privilege, and we believe this experience will help our business grow and flourish." The 88th running of Montpelier Hunt Races takes place on November 4, 2023, with gates opening at 9:00 a.m. The Locally Made Market tent can be found amongst other vendors in the Vendor Village.
